Ye Qingshui righteously rejected the clothes that Xie Tingyu gave her.
"I don't want your clothes."
It’s not that I can’t have it, it’s that I don’t want it.
It’s not because of the inferiority complex caused by poverty, nor because she can’t bear to wear it, but simply because she doesn’t want it, she doesn’t want it subjectively.
The corners of Xie Tingyu's mouth suddenly stiffened. He never expected that Ye Qingshui would refuse his gift at this time.
Ye Qingshui took a step back and looked away, "Don't do this to me. I remember clearly what you said to me before."
Ye Qingshui's heart was very restless at this moment. She regretted coming to the Xie family and regretted experiencing the old lady's love and Xie Tingyu's care.
If it had been as she expected, after arriving in the capital she would have been condemned and ridiculed by everyone.
If it weren't for the accident with Sun Lingyu...she might have been called in for a talk by Xu Maofang, who would have tactfully "pitied" her and advised her to leave the Xie family.
She would say: Shui Ya, Qi Dafeiou, you don’t understand Xie Tingyu, there is a huge difference between you two, you will never grow up together.
When you were farming in the countryside, he was learning cultural knowledge. When you were starving, he was kind enough to donate his food coupons and meat coupons to poor students.
At that time, Ye Qingshui seemed to be able to see her own life in Xu Maofang's pitying eyes. A country woman like her would marry a worker in the city at best. More likely, she would still marry a farmer, and the baby she gave birth to would continue to farm the land.
If he were to follow the path of his previous life, Ye Qingshui would be able to get a divorce in a few days and return to the countryside with ease.
But what about him?
What was he thinking? Ye Qingshui seemed to read from his eyes what he had not finished saying: We... want a child?
How can he have a child?
He doesn't deserve to have children!
"We are not suitable for each other at all. Let's go back to the countryside and get divorced."
Ye Qingshui's eyes suddenly became moist. Although she wanted to speak to Xie Tingyu in a nonchalant manner, as she spoke, the past flashed back to her mind, and she couldn't help but choke up:
"After coming to the capital, I have seen the world. I didn't know there is such a big city, such tall buildings, and so many people outside the mountains."
"There are many things you can do that I can't do. You used to laugh at me for being stupid, poor, and ugly. I was clumsy and couldn't do any work. I was also clumsy and couldn't speak. I couldn't understand your feelings."
"But... when I was starving, you kindly donated money to disaster relief. When I was farming at home, you were sitting in a spacious classroom studying. I had to wear tattered clothes every year while you were always dressed decently. I am not good-looking, I have no education, and my family has no money, but I have tried my best to do the things I did for you, and I have cherished every opportunity to learn. I also want to become smart and promising..."
Wait a minute——
Xie Tingyu was caught off guard by these words and stood there in a daze.
He looked at Ye Qingshui in astonishment and saw her shedding tears.
This was something Xie Tingyu could never have expected. His temples were throbbing with pain and he was speechless. When had he, he... said these words?
"That's not what I think..." He wanted to wipe away the tears from Ye Qingshui's eyes, but Ye Qingshui slapped his hand away.
Xie Tingyu's chest felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton.
"Listen to me—"
"I never thought of relying on you or marrying you. The thing I regret most is that I loved you..."
After Ye Qingshui shouted, he hurried out of the room.
These words should have been said by Ye Qingshui in her previous life, but she couldn't say them because she was not good at speaking at that time and always felt guilty.
Now that he finally said it out, he felt refreshed and relieved. Looking at Xie Tingyu's painful expression, the stone pressing on Ye Qingshui's heart seemed to have been removed.
It's been a lifetime since I said it, but now I say it.
But it was really, so, so sad! Ye Qingshui raised his head and ran down the stairs.
Grandma Xie and Wen Zhihua chatted all night, with Xie Tingjue sitting next to them and Xu Maofang mingling with them. The air was filled with a happy New Year atmosphere. In addition to the joyous New Year atmosphere, the Xie family also felt the emotion of regaining what had been lost after many years.
Grandma Xie hugged her grandson's arm and recalled affectionately:
"Juejue used to be the most sensible and always gave in to his younger brother. The scar on your forehead was caused when you climbed up a jujube tree to pick jujubes for your younger brother as a child and fell down and broke it. Juejue, do you still remember?"
Although Xie Tingjue didn't remember, he nodded in response.
Grandma Xie blamed Wen Zhihua again, blaming her for not taking good care of Tingyu in order to find Juejue.
Xu Maofang added fuel to the fire and continued what Grandma Xie had said, recalling Xie Tingyu's misfortune: "Oh, I feel sorry for that child. He was born smart, otherwise he would have been thrown at the train station by his parents."
Xie Tingjue didn’t think the quarrels among his elders were trivial or annoying, because he had never had the chance to hear these arguments in his previous life.
What the Xie family left him was a pile of blood debt and a mess.
But... Xie Tingjue heard a tapping sound coming from the stairs. He turned around and saw that it was Ye Qingshui running down the stairs in a hurry with a tense expression.
Xie Tingyu also followed.
The two people seemed to be having a very unhappy argument.
Several people were stunned by this scene.
It was freezing outside. After half an hour, Grandma Xie said worriedly, "Hey, what are these two kids doing? What if they catch a cold in such cold weather?"
The room was filled with the warmth of spring and the warm fire made people feel comfortable, but Grandma Xie still stood up and went out to check what was going on.
Xie Tingjue said: "Grandma, I'll go."
Grandma Xie's heart softened, and she said with a smile, "Juejue feels sorry for you, please try to persuade them, okay?"
She muttered, "These two young people have bad tempers and are prone to quarreling."
He thought, maybe it’s not like this…
Xie Tingjue thought about the New Year's Eve dinner they had tonight. As someone who had taken care of Ye Qingshui privately for half his life, it was easy for him to guess that something was wrong.
In her previous life, Ye Qingshui's chain of gourmet restaurants was popular all over the country, and was once a hot seller, and was opened abroad. But at this time, where did she have these skills?
Xie Tingjue picked up his clothes slowly and walked out.
Next time there is a car accident, make sure he dies. It is hard for the living. It is a debt that can never be repaid. This life feels like it can never be repaid.
…
Ye Qingshui wiped her tears and walked towards the train station.
It was freezing cold, the north wind was howling, and the air was filled with the smell of firecrackers.
But she couldn't outrun Xie Tingyu. As soon as Ye Qingshui walked out of the military compound, Xie Tingyu caught up with her.
Xie Tingyu hugged her tightly from behind, "It's so cold, where are you going?"
"I never knew you thought that."
After venting his anger, Ye Qingshui felt the cold wind all the way and came to his senses.
She let go of Xie Tingyu's hand and said nothing.
Xie Tingyu suddenly seemed to be silent. He was silent for a long time. His quiet voice seemed to be frozen by the wind. He said:
"It's not what you think, Shuiya.
You are pure, kind, sincere, and your family is harmonious. Your mother loves you, your grandmother loves you, and your uncle loves you. You can easily make others like you. Maybe I misunderstood you at first, but after a period of getting along, I also like you. When I face you, I always like to tease you. You are so cute. Maybe my inappropriate words made you misunderstand, but it is really not what you think. I apologize to you. "
Xie Tingyu's mind flashed back to the time when she first met Ye Qingshui. She was stepping on the morning dew, smiling sweetly and shyly as she repaired his broken farm tools.
She returned the farm tool to him and said, "Okay, don't use it to dig rocks next time."
Ye Qingshui picked some sweet potatoes from her own plot for him. They were big and ugly, but after peeling the skin, the flesh was white and sweet. When you bite it, the juice flows out. Xie Tingyu and Shen Weimin shared the sweet potato. Such delicious sweet potatoes must be the "snacks" she has been saving for a long time and looking forward to.
That was the first time he had an impression of this country girl.
Later, she risked her life to save him under the steel and concrete. At that time, Xie Tingyu was stunned and shocked for a long time. No one had ever been so sincere to him and felt what he felt.
How could he bear to hate such a simple-minded and silly girl?
Ye Qingshui was frozen by the cold wind. After listening to Xie Tingyu's words, her expression was sad.
Xie Tingyu may love her and cherish her now, but the harm he caused her in his previous life was indeed real.
There has always been a scar in her heart, and the look on Xie Tingyu's face when he left was forever imprinted in her mind and could never be erased.
Why did he promise her and ask her to wait for him before leaving when he clearly wanted to abandon her?
At that time, she was happy and cheerful, and she waited foolishly in the countryside, waiting and waiting, but what she got was a divorce announcement.
But now no one can answer her question.
However, in a flash, Ye Qingshui asked Xie Tingyu: "If I wasn't as pretty as I am now, had a low level of education, no experience, was clumsy and couldn't cook delicious meals, what did you mean by asking me to wait for you..."
Xie Tingyu quickly followed up: "I like your meaning."
After hearing this, Ye Qingshui felt a little disappointed.
Xie Tingyu looked at her disappointed expression, thinking that she didn't believe him, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you weren't my wife, why would I let you wait? A word is a promise."
After a while, Xie Tingjue slowly followed. He saw the confrontation between the two. Did they finish talking?
Xie Tingjue said: "Grandma is very worried about you."
Ye Qingshui said to Xie Tingjue, "Don't worry, grandma. It's okay. We will be back soon."
She sighed and walked towards the military compound.
Xie Tingjue followed Ye Qingshui and whispered to her: "The college entrance examination will be resumed this year..."
In the silent night, the lights were brighter than ever before. Every house was decorated with lanterns. The light gently poured out from the windows and fell on Xie Tingjue's handsome face.
Hearing this, Ye Qingshui suddenly stopped.
"I have something to say to you." Xie Tingjue said.
